NHL 23 Missing Players?

@Superblink09 

I don't have details on the next roster update, but there should be additions to the rosters. If we don't include a player, it's due to not having their rights. We can't have players in the game that we don't have rights to. 

@EA_Aljo
Ok , so how come you dont have the right to a player who was in the AHL last year and he still in the AHL this year on the same NHL contract ? 

Some players are missing by mistake thats all. We just try to give constructive feedback on roster.

We all know the licence things but if look at some situation its clears the player are missing because of a mistake. If you dont have the answer its ok, like I said its mostly just feedback that I wanted to give.

This is perhaps the first year that it's a week after the game's release and the rosters aren't up to date. A lot of players are missing including Sedlák (Colorado) Regenda (Anaheim) and others. At the same time, 4 to 5 rounds have already been played. Any chance the update will come out this week or next month?

@Superblink09 

Players have to agree to be in the game. If we don't get their signed paperwork stating this, they can't be included.

@EA_AljoI found out why so many Players have no headshot Images all the years. Nothing to do with license, you have them all with the NHLPA license you bought. You simply use the Images from one year ago. You also did this Image work for NHL games long time ago, maybe spring every year. Thats why are so many Images missing and many have old pics from years ago. So no up to date work in summer for this, simply old. So once again ..... If your company is to lazy to add current new pics, let us do it in our custom Rosters. Luckily I didn't bought NHL 23.

@Froommey 

This is incorrect. We have to use the images sent to us by the leagues each year.

Matt Boldy and the entire Calgary wranglers on Hut as well

@EA_AljoSure the Images which was sent by the Leagues in spring from last year ( Season 2020/21 ) and not the current from the Teams which they made at the Player presentation mid September. I guess you added this photos to the game in spring. The most are no up to date Player pics. Your Rosters are horrable also about the Player attributes and ratings and this since years. Sorry to say, but poor work for a multi million Dollar company. By the way why you don't use the Images from Hut for the headshot portraits ? 

And up !

They all and more played games last year and some years before like Boldy and Kochetkov

And please remove the many old headshots from last year and year before. We have now start of Season 22/23 and not Season 21/22.

You sell old and no more up to Date.

@EA_Aljo No  new headshot pictures in the roster update from today ? Hope you will update at the next update together with the AHL Rookies. Notice that the most pics are old and from Season 21/22 or older. If you don't have current for the missing than use pics from Hut. It can't be so hard to do that. Thanks !
